Fiona completed her PhD at the Walter Eliza Hall Institute under Professor Jake Baum in 2015. Her research focused on investigating how Plasmodium parasites move and the processes involved in red blood cell invasion and mosquito midgut transmission. Following her doctorate, Fiona undertook a four-year post-doctoral position at Imperial College London with Dr. Andrew Blagborough. During this time, her research shifted to include a translational emphasis, with the overall goal of identifying and developing anti-malarial vaccines that block transmission. She aims to address the significant gap in supply and demand for preventative control measures against malaria. Fiona's key interests include the discovery of new anti-malarial vaccine antigen candidates, the establishment of new delivery systems, and the design of multiple pre-clinical and clinical studies to assess vaccine effectiveness. Her expertise aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on education and the global effort to end poverty while protecting the planet.
